  1. /b/ on Interview: Ask Christopher "moot" Poole About 4chan and Social Media · · Score: 5, Interesting

    How often to you get political pressure to take down /b/, and 4chan as a whole? Also, what is your favorite board?

  2. Not heavy but... on The Light Might Make You Heavy · · Score: 1

    Not heavy...just "Big Boned"

  3. Dasher on Ask Slashdot: Communication With Locked-in Syndrome Patient? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Dasher is a small software package (akin to notepad) that assists in typing without a keyboard. Maybe you could combine some sort of eye-tracking or morse-code system that can translate her eye movements into numbers and letters on Dasher?

  4. How about... on James Dyson: We Should Pay Students To Study Engineering · · Score: 1

    We increase scholarships for ALL students pursing fields of job growth, not just engineering

  5. The only plausible solution... on Ask Slashdot: What To Do With Misdirected Email? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Is to change your name

  6. Oh man on US Military Settles Software Piracy Claims For $50M · · Score: 1, Insightful

    This submitter has the typical Slashdot FOSS douchebag attitude. This case has NOTHING TO DO with open source software, yet you can always find a way to jam it in there eh?

  7. And this is why... on Comcast Donates Heavily To Defeat Mayor Who Is Bringing Gigabit Fiber To Seattle · · Score: 5, Insightful

    ...Lobbying needs to be illegal. Period.

  8. Re:Enough is Enough on Chrome Will End XP Support in 2015; Firefox Has No Plans To Stop · · Score: 1

    Microsoft gave the business community a decade, support and all. Bureaucracy and inefficiency shouldn't be Microsofts problem

  9. Re:Enough is Enough on Chrome Will End XP Support in 2015; Firefox Has No Plans To Stop · · Score: 1

    Not two or three, more like four or five now. SP3 was released in 08, and once 7 released, manufacturers made the switch.

  10. Re:Enough is Enough on Chrome Will End XP Support in 2015; Firefox Has No Plans To Stop · · Score: 1

    What software company is still actively supporting products from 2003?

  11. Enough is Enough on Chrome Will End XP Support in 2015; Firefox Has No Plans To Stop · · Score: 0

    It's been over a decade, guys. I understand there are legacy software needs, but you've had ample time to find a replacement.

  12. Well what do you expect? Zillow can't view the interior of the homes they price, so they can only make an assumption based upon market trends and exterior features. How can you expect them to know whether or not you have new stainless steel appliances and mahogany floors versus only plastic stuff and dirty carpet?

  13. Oil, coal, we burn them both for power.

  14. Shame on Duke Energy Scraps Plans For Florida Nuclear Plant, Forced To Delay Others · · Score: 1, Insightful

    It's such a shame that the far left has put such a stigma on nuclear power. All of the nuclear accidents in history have happened because of poor oversight, not to the fault of the technology itself. Oh well, I guess we can keep burning oil for the next hundred years.

  15. Strange on Yahoo Board Approves a $1.1B Pricetag For Tumblr · · Score: 5, Funny

    They could've bought YouPorn for a lot less.

  16. Great on A New Version of MS Office Every 90 Days · · Score: 1, Troll

    MS has finally realized that waterfall development isn't the best for consumers; now only if they'd offer it at an affordable price...

  17. Welcome back to 2005 on The Trouble With 4K TV · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The same thing happened when the first 1080P screens came out. The market will adapt, there's no problem here.

  18. Here comes the anti-gun crowd on 27 Reported Killed In Connecticut Elementary School Shooting · · Score: 1

    Seriously, you could "try" and take away all the guns...but if you really wanted one, you could always get one. Same with drugs, the black market is ALWAYS there.

    And the libs always tend to forget that guns actually help save lies as well. I was reading an article not too long ago about a single mother who was sleeping with her newborn child, when she heard someone trying to break in. She grabbed her shotgun, and as soon as the two perps walked into the house, she shot them dead. Now if she didn't have her gun, she could've been killed and her baby orphaned.

  19. Walter White on Violation of Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle · · Score: 1, Funny

    He's not only a fantastic meth cook, but a stellar physicist as well

  20. As a New Yorker... on Trained Rats Map Minefields With GPS · · Score: 3, Funny

    I'd love to see those fat little fuckers get blown up to pieces.

    Maybe the DoD can come take some from the subway?

  21. Re:Elon Musk on SpaceX Launch To International Space Station Delayed For Code Tweaks · · Score: 1, Interesting

    They already have thousands of pre-orders for the Model S, and I'm betting they'll get even more for the Model X

  22. Elon Musk on SpaceX Launch To International Space Station Delayed For Code Tweaks · · Score: 0

    He's doing an absolutely fantastic job with his two post-paypal start-ups. I already have quite a few shares of Tesla, and when SpaceX goes public I'll pick up as well.

  23. Re:Talk about media bias on Zimmerman Charged With 2nd-Degree Murder · · Score: 0

    Did he serve a sentence for murder? no.

    The point is that a crime is a crime, no matter someones race. You think he's going to get a fair trial now that everyone and their mother thinks he shot a poor defenseless black kid?

    I know Slashdot is liberal, but c'mon, you can't be that naive.

  24. Re:Talk about media bias on Zimmerman Charged With 2nd-Degree Murder · · Score: 1, Troll

    But why is the president going out and saying "If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon"

    Or does Obama envision his kid getting kicked out of school and having gang-related tattoos?

  25. Re:Talk about media bias on Zimmerman Charged With 2nd-Degree Murder · · Score: 1

    But the point is he isn't white, he's hispanic.
